PFA-100® System - Features & Benefits
The PFA-100 System has become the new standard for detection of platelet dysfunction. The PFA-100 Analyzer quickly and easily measures platelet plug formation in a small, whole blood sample (<1 mL) and reports a ”Closure Time” in 5-8 minutes. It is a unique system that challenges platelets under high shear flow conditions similar to the physiologic environment in which platelets normally function. It detects inherited-, acquired- or induced- platelet dysfunction by uniquely simulating, in vitro, the function of platelets in Primary Hemostasis.
A Model of Efficiency:
- Accurate detection of inherited, acquired or induced platelet dysfunction under high-shear stress
- Sensitive to quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of VWD in both plasma and platelets
- Simple, rapid, semi-quantitative, and precise assessment of platelet function
Test Menu:
- Collagen/Epinephrine and Collagen/ADP test cartridges
Features:
- Easy to use - self-contained disposable test cartridges
- Fast - delivers quantitative results within 5 to 8 minutes
- Cost savings - minimal sample manipulation and maintenance required
